This insidious action still causes reigns of terror ever since the bloody crusades (meaning cross bearing) and torturous Inquisition with its unjust tribunal during conquests. The Great Commission and Manifest Destiny–a mission to force one faith on the world through missionaries–were spurred on by the same persuasion.
Dear Ones,
At that time Islam in its conquest for land did not require proselytizing. Instead the over lords let the people worship what ever religion they wanted. They also were world great scholars. Later their radical leaders were copy cats of Christianity and now forces conversion on Christians.
Christian law proclaims the only way to heaven is through their god.
Meanwhile Muslim law supports the old King Babylonian Law–an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. This means if "you don't take my eyes or teeth, than we won't do the same to you–don't attack us and we won't attack you."
The major problem with this law is–neither side remembers who started the endless revenge in blood in the first place. The Hebrew Bible tells of Abraham's son Isaac with Sarah and his son Ishmael with bondage maid Hagar that was the beginning of Islam.
Since all three religions are rooted in rival stories of Abraham's sons through the same Hebrew Bible, there has been divisive chaos and endless related religious wars ever since biblical times.
There's an old saying, "You can choose your friends but not your relatives."
